Dishwasher:

A club employee that’s guaranteed a minimum hourly wage regardless of how much alcohol is sold, how many fans are in attendance.  Unlike musicians, dishwashers are not required to pay other employees, bring their own equipment, rehearse, practice, or advertise for the club on their own time and their own expense.   These facts suggest that monetarily, our culture values dishwashers more than musicians.
